Its an abscess. There must be cavity or trauma to the nearby tooth. It may or may not be painful but draining sinus is not good.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination and x ray followed by treatment.

Hi! That is an abscess. Visit a dentist and he/she will take an X-ray. If the tooth has encountered any trauma or decay then it has to be addressed accordingly. Medication is must along with treatment.
Next Steps
Visit a Pediatric Dentist at the earliest.
Health Tips
It looks like but not a pimple. Don't break it by self. Treatment by a dentist is needed. Take car.
